base is done, now what?

I'm done with my base period and ready to start a build phase. I want to have good form in mid April and then again in July. I'm looking for what things I should be throwing into my week, how should I intiate this next bit. I want to focus on my climbing primarily but also on my top end.
is it better to raise the intensity gradually from longer/less intense efforts towards shorter/higher intensity? or do you start doing brief high intensity work and gradually increase time?
Mostly I want a better overview of your typical cycle, is a general sense.
I've had the Friel book and read a lot, but there's so much out there now tht this time around I'm confused on how to proceed.
